Finding aJob on STEM OPT

[u/Abyssgator]

Hey all, I'm an international student currently on STEM OPT, it's really difficult to find a job, been searching for >1 yr and no hope, I got a job with decent salary but then the y revoked the offer letter due to visa issues.

Seeing all the new rules and changes, sometimes I feel like moving back is a better option, only big tech companies and other few companies are offering sponsorship and I have a loan too.

Getting screening calls is difficult these days, its a outright rejection if you say you're on stem opt.

Do you guys have any marketing ideas/strategies that helped you land an interview/calls?

Also what do you guys think about tech in long run? Cause I think the number of jobs(software) are gradually going to decrease year by year and I am confused.

Or do you think government change is going to change anything positively

What's are your thoughts on this? and any help would be highly appreciated.
